The International Conference on Environmental Systems was started in 1971 with a focus on the dissemination of technical and scientific information on topics related to humans living in space and working in extreme environments with applications inside or outside of terrestrial or outer space habitats or vehicles, including:

• aerospace human factors

• environmental control and life-support system technology

• environmental monitoring and controls

• planetary protection

• EVA system technology

• life sciences

• planetary habitats and systems

• thermal control systems technology for both manned and unmanned vehicles

.  The conference includes technical sessions, panel discussions, and published proceedings.

Five committees aide in the coordination of the annual conference through the organization of technical sessions and the solicitation of technical papers for presentation and publication.

• ICES Thermal and Environmental Control Systems (TECS) Committee

• ICES International Committee (IIC)

• American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Environmental Systems Committee

• American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Crew Systems Technical Committee

• American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Life Sciences and Systems (AIAA-LS&S) Technical Committee
